I built a tariff intelligence tool for SMBs — no VC, no co-founder, building from Syracuse

Small businesses are making six-figure procurement decisions based on guesswork. Enterprise importers have customs brokers and compliance teams. The SMB owner doesn't.

TariffNavigator fixes that — HTS code lookup, landed cost calculation, and tariff exposure analysis in minutes.

I'm 30 days into a 90-day go-to-market focused on customs broker partnerships as the primary distribution channel. The insight: brokers don't see this as competition. They see it as triage for clients who can't afford them full-time.

HUBZone-certified. Bootstrapped. Building in public from Syracuse, NY. Follow along for real numbers and the full partnership playbook as it develops.
